Set 1: Wang Dang Doodle, Jack Straw, Loser, Me and My Uncle > Mexicali Blues, Bird Song, Hell in a Bucket > Day Job
Set 2: China Cat > I Know You Rider, I Need a Miracle > Bertha > Jam > China Doll > Drums > Space > Saint Stephen > Throwing Stones > Touch of Grey
Encore: Johnny B. Goode
Digitally remastered using a custom built, Dual-DAW, nicknamed Bertha, by jashley@deadacated.com. Completed on July 2, 2004.
After joining the tracks into a single wav file, frequency analysis showed a badly deformed waveform. This was, likely, due to improper processing with a digital limiter. This was corrected as best as possible prior to Bertha processing.
-3db of pure sample noise reduction was applied prior to Bertha processing.

yikes
this how really kicks especially the Loser with a real decent Wang Dang opener & the Bird Song was tight had a nice jam in it to save the 1st. this China/Rider is a good one not quite as good as 3/9/81 and China Doll is sweet but the Stephen and stones really rocks although short Stephen. nice show really decent sound love the matrix best of both worlds. easy 4.5 fer both

MSG 83
My favorite all time Throwing Stones AND Touch. Jam in Stones (original arrangement) is classic acid rock from a bygone era. Must have!!!!!

Solid Show!
Funny how two people can see/hear the same thing and have different impressions ; )
I listened to the explosive beginning strains of St. Stephen on the AUD, and got goosebumps! While I prefer the "clean" sound of this SBD of the three options for this show, I think I will collect the files for the AUD, too.
When I listen to this show - overall - not just during St. Stephen - I detect a decent energy level throughout most of the show. Not electrifying, but a nice groove. Wish I had been there! For an excellent-sounding recording (thanks, Jay Ashley!), and a solid show, I'm giving this one 4 stars.

I was there
When they broke-out the St. Stephen for the first time on the East Coast in 5000 years, MSG literally rocked!
Maybe I'm biased for being there, but this was a much talked about show in 83.

Phoning it in
A so-so show. China Doll was the main highlight with Brent's synthesizer harpsichord and band interplay. Most everything else was passable but kind of loose, aside from reliable Phil's dancing bass lines. The sound was a little weird in places; definitely could tell that the original's digital limiter had some effects on the naturalness of the sound.
